“Books  are  education.  The  more  people  read, 
the  more  they  know.  The  more  good  literature 
there  is  in  their  libraries,  the  more  well-stocked 
brains  there  will  eventually  be,  and  good  brains 
never  will  and  never  can  be  a drug  on  the 
market.”

If  the  crowns  of  all  the  kingdoms  of  the 
Empire  were  laid  down  at  my  feet  in  exchange 
for  my  books  and  my  love  of  reading,  I would 
spurn  them  all.

In  publishing  and  distributing  a list  of  books  for  school  libraries* 
It  is  the  desire  of  this  Commission  to  help  the  schools  of  the  state 
to  get  the  greatest  possible  return  for  the  money  they  spend  on  school 
libraries — not  the  largest  number  of  volumes,  but  the  largest  number 
of  good,  well  bound  and  printed,  and  carefully  selected  books. 

Discriminating  care  in  the  selection  of  books  for  a school  library 
Is  so  imperative  if  the  books  are  to  accomplish  what  a school  library 
ought  to  accomplish,  that  the  secretary  of  this  Commission  has 
Cheerfully  devoted  much  time  to  comparing  the  best  lists  of  the  kind 
in  print,  and  to  studying  the  books  themselves.  It  is  not  enough  that 
a book  should  be  a good  book — it  must  be  good  for  somethmg,  or  it  is 
a waste  of  money  to  put  it  in  a school  library.  In  many  of  the  school 
libraries  of  Nebraska  there  are  cheap,  unattractive  editions  of  books 
of  recognized  standing— the  English  and  other  classics.  These  are 
well  enough,  in  their  way,  but  they  are  a poor  beginning  for  a school 
library  if  not  reinforced  by  the  child’s  best  literature.  The  primary 
function  of  a school  library  is  to  provide  supplementary  material  for 
school  use.  Another,  and  equally  important  function  is  to  enable 
children  to  form  the  reading  habit,  and  to  introduce  them  to  the  best 
lin  literature.  That  school  that  contents  itself  with  teaching  the 
mere  mechanical  art  of  reading,  leaving  the  pupils  to  grope  blindly 
through  the  literary  wilderness  for  a lifetime,  falls  far  short  of  the 
[requirements  of  the  twentieth  century.  If  children  are  taught  to 
[use  books,  and  given  some  means  of  obtaining  good  and  useful  books, 
[much  that  it  now  seems  imperative  for  the  school  to  attempt  may 
safely  be  left  to  the  voluntary  self-education  of  the  people. 

Any  graded  list  of  books  for  schools  must  be  based  on  the  assump- 
tion that  children  have  been  reading  from  the  first  grade  on  up.  It 
jls  a great  mistake  to  select  the  school  library  chiefly  for  the  high 
techool  and  upper  grammar  grades.  In  the  use  of  books  and  the  ap- 
jpreciation  of  literature,  it  is  as  true  as  of  any  other  form  of  mental 
development  that 

“we  build  the  ladder  by  which  we  rise 
From  the  lowly  earth  to  the  vaulted  skies, 

And  we  mount  to  its  summit  round  by  round.” 

If  anybody  must  be  neglected  in  the  selection  of  books  for  the  school 
library,  let  it  be  the  older  children.  Children  who  have  not  had  op- 
portunity to  read  in  the  grades  are  not  ready  for  the  literature 
course  in  the  high  school. 

The  following  list  is  planned  to  include  the  best  supplementary, 
literature,  and  some  of  the  best  literature  of  enjoyment.  The  stand- 


ard  authors  in  English  and  American  literature  have  been  somewhat 
sparingly  included  because  it  is  assumed  that  the  schools  already  have 
them  or  have  planned  to  get  them.  For  school  editions  of  the  literary 
classics,  address  the  American  Book  Co.,  Educational  Publishing  Co., 
D.  C.,  Heath  & Co.,  Rand  McNally  & Co.,  at  their  Chicago  houses, 
and  Houghton,  Mifflin  & Co.,  at  Boston. 

Books  should  be  selected  according  to  the  needs  of  the  school — not 
because  of  the  intense  desire  of  some  agent  to  sell  them.  It  is  poor 
policy  for  any  library  to  be  selected  entirely  from  the  books  published 
by  a single  firm.  Generally  speaking,  nothing  is  saved  in  dealing 
with  publishers,  so  far  as  money  goes,  and  the  power  to  make  an  all 
round  selection  is  almost  invariably  lost.  An  agent  who  comes  to  a 
district  with  a case  of  3u  books  which  he  sells  for  $30,  or  more,  is  a 
person  to  be  avoided.  The  average  cost  for  books  for  popular  read- 
ing is  about  $1  a volume.  An  all  round  school  library  need  average 
not  more  than  80  cents  a volume,  exclusive  of  reference  books.  For 
the  first  four  grades,  the  average  will  probably  not  exceed  55  cents  a 
yolume. 

Some  school  people  seem  to  think  because  some  very  good  little 
books  can  be  had  for  25  cents  apiece,  that  50  cents  is  a princely  sum 
to  pay  for  books  for  a school  library.  A cheap  book  is,  of  necessity, 
a small  affair  and  must  be  gotten  up  in  a style  that  will  permit  of  a 
low  price.  In  spite  of  the  fact  that  more  good  books  than  ever  be- 
ffore  can  be  had  for  little  money,  it  is  still  true  that  the  great  pro- 
portion of  the  best  books,  whether  for  children  or  adults,  are  pub- 
lished at  $1  and  upwards.  Illustrations  have  become  so  much  of  a 
necessity  in  nice  books  that  the  cost  of  the  nicest  books  for  children 
Is  increasing,  rather  than  otherwise.  The  children  of  Nebraska  are 
entitled  to  the  best,  both  as  to  contents  and  general  make-up.  It 
pays  to  have  a few  well  illustrated,  beautifully  made  books  for  the 
children  of  each  grade.  More  and  more,  language  is  being  supple- 
mented by  art,  and  American  people  are  getting  much  of  their  edu- 
cation from  pictures.  Give  the  children  of  Nebraska  a chance  to 
see  and  read  the  best  from  every  standpoint. 

In  rural  communities,  it  often  happens  that  the  money  devoted  to 
school  libraries  is  raised  outside  of  school  revenues,  and  in  such 
cases,  it  is  desirable  to  select  some  of  the  books  for  the  older  people 
In  the  district.  The  district  school  should  be  made  to  count  for 
Something  to  all  the  people  who  live  within  the  sphere  of  its  influ- 
ence. The  school  library  can  help  to  strengthen  the  intellectual  life 
of  the  community.  The  selections  made  for  the  upper  grades  in  this 
list,  have  been  made  with  a view  to  making  the  school  library  part 
iof  the  life  of  the  district. 

In  order  that  districts  may  secure  the  best  possible  discounts,  aftei 
comparing  figures  from  several  reliable  jobbers,  we  have  decided  ta 
recommend  the 

St.  Paul  Book  & Stationery  Co.,  St.  Paul,  Minn. 


The  prices  given  are  the  list,  or  publishers’  price,  and  the  net  price1 
bo  districts,  which  is  the  price  for  which  the  St.  Paul  book  & sta- 
tionery co.  will  send  books,  freight  prepaid  to  the  nearest  depot,  for 
orders  of  $25  or  upwards,  if  order  is  accompanied  by  money  oidrr  or 
draft  for  the  a<nount.  Less  than  $25  worth  of  books  will  be  sent  pre- 
paid upon  receipt  of  an  additional  5 per  cent,  of  the  amount  of  the 
order,  except  for  orders  of  less  than  $10,  which  will  be  sent  at  pur- 
chaser’s expense.
